COMPENSATION FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORIST CRIME IN THE FRENCH AND JORDANIAN LEGISLATION: BETWEEN REALITY AND EXPECTATIONS A COMPARATIVE ANALYTICAL STUDY

Published in: Lawyer QuarterlyVolume 14, Issue 2, Pages 268 - 2803 June 2024

Jul 03, 2024

This article presents the compensation for victims of terrorist crime in the French and Jordanian legislation by conducting a comparative analytical study of the legal texts in the French and Jordanian legis-lation. It addresses this issue by clarifying the position of the French and Jordanian legislation on compensating the victims of terrorist crime. The article concludes that the French legislator approved legislative texts that help the victims of terrorist crime claim compensation based on the philosophy of social solidarity, ho-wever, the Jordanian legislation was completely different from the French legislation and devoid of any legislative texts that help the victims of terrorist crime claim compensation except for the provisions included in the Draft Law on Martyrs of the Jordanian Armed Forces and Security Corps Fund. In the last part of the ar-ticle, the set of recommendations that would contribute to supporting the idea of compensating the victims of terrorist crime in Jordanian legislation is offered.

Published in: Lawyer QuarterlyVolume 13, Issue 1, Pages 1 - 172023

Mar 10, 2023

The general public demand for openness in the conduct of investigative actions and trial participants’ work is successfully satisfied with the introduction of new technologies that contribute to the establishment of objective disclosure of certain offenses. This article discusses the compatibility of admitting witness testimony through videoconferences with the concept of governance in judicial proceedings, comparing the approaches of the UAE and Jordanian legal systems, with the ultimate purpose of highlighting the advantages of using these modern methods. The article defines videoconferences, the practical and legal reasons for relying upon them and uses examples from the Emirati, Jordanian, and French systems, discusses the extent to which videoconferences are compatible with the concept of governance in the dispensation of judgments. The article suggests that the Emirati and Jordanian legislature develop explicit rules to regulate the process of electronic witness testimony paying attention to the use of new technological and security trends. © 2023, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of State and Law.

GOVERNANCE OF THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE AND PENAL LEGISLATION: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

Published in: Corporate Law and Governance ReviewOpen AccessVolume 4, Issue 2, Pages 89 - 1002022

Dec 30, 2022

This research is concerned with the administrative and penal protection of the right to privacy under the United Arab Emirates (UAE) legislation, in comparison with the relevant Jordanian legislation. The purpose of this research is to clarify the concept of the right to privacy (Bennett & Raab, 2020), the important forms of violation of this right, its relation with governance (Rajaretnam, 2022), and the legal texts enacted and the amendments adopted in the respective countries in order to notice the strengths and weaknesses of these two laws and indicate opportunities for improvement. The research problem consists of the insufficient legal framework in the UAE and Jordan regarding the content and the means of the protection of this right. It is suggested that this goal is achieved by comparing the different laws adopted in these two countries. The main findings of the paper are that the UAE and Jordanian legislations need to be modified to comply with the new technologies due to the multiplicity of agencies supervising the protection of this right and the absence of a central authority. Finally, the study concludes that legislators in the UAE and Jordan should adopt measures of governance to ensure the effectiveness of the legal framework relating to this righ

The Impact of COVID-19 on General Rights and Freedoms: The Jordanian Case as a Model

Published in: Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary StudiesOpen AccessVolume 11, Issue 5, Pages 125 - 138September 2022

Sep 02, 2022

The study addressed the impact of COVID-19 on public rights and freedoms. The research question is to what extent it is possible to achieve compatibility between preserving public health in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and protecting the basic rights and freedoms of individuals, and how the Jordanian government dealt with the pandemic by resorting to exceptional legislation in this regard. To address this problem the study focused on the legislative basis which the Jordanian government relied on to confront the pandemic and the manifestations of prejudicing general rights and freedoms. The study discussed the compatibility between respecting rights and freedoms, and combating the pandemic. The conclusion is that the Jordanian government imposed harsh legislations which restricted individuals’ rights. It is recommended that the Jordanian government adopt preventive measures to combat the epidemic in line with international standards on respecting human rights. Policies are suggested.

Due to the importance of commercial enterprises to economic development, the UAE legislature has sought to carefully regulate them, including providing guarantees to prevent manipulation by founders during the incorporation period. This article focuses on the criminal liability of founders of joint-stock companies in Emirati law and clarifies the actions that result in criminal liability for founders of joint-stock companies. The article approaches the topic by first defining a founder and the qualifications they must possess. Then, the article discusses the crimes and the rulings related to the crimes committed during the incorporation of a joint-stock company (Kamensky, Dudorov, Movchan, Vozniuk, & Makarenko, 2020). This is done by analyzing the relevant laws, including the UAE Commercial Enterprise Law (Number 2 of 2015). The article concludes that the Emirati legislature has defined the purpose of founders and provided the conditions that a person must fulfill to sign the initial contract to incorporate a company as a founder. Moreover, this study showed that the Emirati legislature has leaned towards issuing severe punishments for those who commit these crimes.

Published in: Journal of Governance and RegulationOpen AccessVolume 10, Issue 4 Special issue, Pages 261 - 2712021

Oct 28, 2021

This research explains judicial control as a form of governance in the face of arbitrary administrative decisions — the UAE is an example (Zwart, 2016). The aim of the study is to demonstrate how judicial control can contribute to achieving good governance of the administrative decisions in the absence of the legislative provisions related to the causes of cancellation of an administrative decision. The data were sourced from relevant books, journals, official texts, and courts decisions. The data obtained was analysed through descriptive and analytic methods. This paper is divided into three themes. The first tackles the incidents of abuse of power. The second demonstrates the ways in which abuses of power can be proved, and the third discusses the correlation between judicial control and good governance. The study found that the abuse of power is related to the discretionary power of the administration and that it is a latent defect related to the psychological intentions of the decision-maker and is difficult to prove, also that the administrative jurisdiction plays an important role in promoting the good governance. The study concluded that it is important for the UAE legislator to issue a law regulating the action for the annulment of administrative decisions

Due to its reception of many refugees from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan witnessed a widespread of numerous forms of organized crimes such as drug crimes, money laundering, and human trafficking. The authors seek to clarify how Emirati and Jordanian lawmakers dealt with such crime, and whether their legal texts were sufficient and consistent with international conventions.

The research has focused on the laws concerning common organized crimes such as narcotic drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering. This research highlighted the efforts exerted by legislators in both countries to combat organized crimes. The findings indicate that both countries enforced specific laws and regulations to stop such crimes

Published in: Cogent Arts and HumanitiesOpen AccessVolume 8, Issue 12021 Article number 1994112

Aug 30, 2021

This study shows how publishing, commenting, and analyzing crime details via social media can play a role in shaping public opinion and influences the proper conduct of criminal justice. It also discusses the impact of social media on the presumption of innocence, the confidentiality of investigation, and the judge’s emotional conviction by examining the most important cases that Jordan has witnessed recently and have had a wide resonance on social media. In addition, the paper clarifies the legal opinion on the permissibility of publishing and commenting on such issues in Jordanian legislation with reference to some of the relevant international agreements. The author employed the analytical methodology by using the document analysis of official legal documents in relation to social media in Jordan legislations and drew upon relevant international agreements and court rulings for our research. The research concluded that the presumption of innocence and the confidentiality of investigations conducted by the Public Prosecution must be respected, and that everything that might affect the proper conduct of criminal justice should be avoided

Published in: Lawyer QuarterlyVolume 11, Issue 3, Pages 401 - 4122021

Jul 30, 2021

There is no doubt that the crimes of hijacking of aircraft and ships and assaults on land means of transportation and navigational facilities are terrorism offences that are among the most serious and threatening for individuals’ safety and security. Aircraft, ships, and trains are the most widely used means of transportation; therefore, they should be safe and protected against any terrorist act, and a severe penalty should be imposed on whoever commits such crimes. Therefore, this study aims to clarify how Emirati and Jordanian legislators have addressed these types of crime, and whether or not they addressed them in harmony with the international community’s vision in combating terrorism offences. By end of this study, it is concluded that Emirati and Jordanian legislators have considered such types of crime as terrorism offences, and they have imposed severe penalties that are commensurate with the severity and seriousness of the criminal act committed, and that the two countries are in complete harmony with the international community’s vision in combating and reducing terrorism offences. The study concludes with a set of outcomes and recommendations

Legal Aspects of Movable Antiquities Protection in Jordanian Legislation: An Analytical Critical Study

Published in: Arab Law QuarterlyVolume 37, Issue 1-2, Pages 1 - 422021

Mar 02, 2021

Movable antiquities are very important in peoples' lives, as they reflect history, establish identity and revive the past. The Jordanian legislator issued Public Antiquities Law 21/1988 to impose a legal protection for antiquities. Through this study, we focus on the issue of the protection of legal movable antiquities in Jordan and determine whether the current provisions are sufficient to this end. We define the protected movable archeological properties in Jordanian legislation and certain comparative legislations. Thereafter, we deal with the means - whether administrative, civil or criminal - of legal protection for movable antiquities. By analyzing such protective legal provisions, we conclude that they are insufficient and in need of multiple supplements. We recommend reinforcing Jordan's commitment to the protection of movable aniquities by changing legislative texts that reflect the importance of protection movable antiquities while promoting the legitimate trade and exchange of these materials. © 2021 Brill Academic Publishers.
